The 1967 Nova features an array of goodies, starting with the drivetrain. Squeezed between the fenders is a 427ci LS2 that’s been sleeved and stroked. A Lunati rotating assembly and cam help churn out 600hp. A Wegner valve train keeps the air flowing through CNC-ported LS6 heads and out custom, 1 3/4-inch stainless headers connected to a 3-inch exhaust with X-pipe and bumper outlet. Out back, a 16-gallon fuel cell feeds the Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump that helps to keep the motor alive.

The powerhouse of the 1967 Chevy II Nova hooks-up to a TKO-600 5-speed transmission equipped with a RPS clutch and Howe throw-out bearing setup. A Moser Engineering 9-inch rearend with nodular iron third member delivers the torque to a Detroit Truetrac differential with 3.25:1 ratio gears. All the power is sent through 31-spine axles, and then to the wheels.

The 46-year old Chevy II rides on an Art Morrison Engineering chassis with a one-off floor, firewall, trunk, and suspension. A Katz Tsubai and SLA custom-designed suspension equipped with a 3-link setup in the rear makes the Chevy glide through the corners. The whole rig utilizes Wilwood brakes and a Wilwood master cylinder and custom pedal for the stopping power.

The 1967 Chevrolet Chevy II sports stylized Kinesis K18 3-piece rims at all four corners; the wheels measure 18x9-inch up front, 18x11-inch in the rear. All the rims are wrapped in Pirelli Zero Corsa tires; the rubber is sized at P265/35/ZR18 up front and P315/30/ZR18 in the rear.

Both the interior and exterior are decked-out in Black and Blue. The inside of the Nova is race-themed with Sparco Monza race seats and a Sparco 3-spoke racing wheel. A Vintage Air Gen IV Magnum evaporator and black anodized controls keeps the driver and passengers cool in the summer, all while an iPod/iPhone stereo with trunk-mounted amp, subwoofer and 5-speaker stereo keep the music thumpin’. The outside of the car is dripping in flawless, glass-like paint.
